Persistent Systems campus online assessment (objective test plus coding)

Difficulty: moderate5 sections

Compiled from public sources, verify before you rely on it. Persistent Systems revises this test regularly. Source corroboration: Sparse sources. Checked 2 Nov 2026 (OPR-RES-010). Persistent's own site could not be read, and the section counts come from one prep-site layout for a 2024 drive. Confirm the sections, timings and eligibility on the notice for your drive.

How the test works

Reported

Persistent publishes no campus test pattern that we could read (its careers site timed out on 2 Nov 2026). The pattern here is a prep-site layout labelled 'as per 2024 drive' (PrepInsta, with CCBP giving the same numbers, so the two may not be independent): sectional timers, an objective test of computer science, English and logical questions, then a 2-problem coding round, with a further 2 harder problems for top scorers. Another site (FreshersNow) lists a different layout of 50 questions in 50 minutes and shorter coding times, so treat the numbers as approximate. The test is described as proctored and AMCAT-based; sectional timers and no going back are reported by a single source. The package is reported as tiered by test and interview performance, but the tiers conflict between sources (about 4.4 to 9.3 LPA across reports) and Persistent publishes none. No 2027-batch campus notice had been found by 2 Nov 2026.

How the interviews go

Reported

1Technical 1
2Technical 2 (sometimes)
3HR

Resume-driven CS fundamentals (DBMS, OOP, OS), practical engineering (APIs, Git, Linux), easy array/string coding.

Based on several candidates' reports, checked 2 Nov 2026. Interviews vary by drive and interviewer.

What to prep

Computer science objective: DBMS and SQL (joins, indexing), OS (threads, deadlock), networks, OOP
Strings and arrays coding in a timed compiler with all hidden test cases in mind
For the advanced round: trees, graphs, greedy and dynamic programming at LeetCode-medium level
English comprehension and logical reasoning at steady speed
Read your own drive's job description for the real eligibility and test details

Cut-offs and eligibility (indicative)

Reported

Persistent publishes no cutoff, and none is known. Reported eligibility from prep sites is 60% in 10th, 12th and graduation with no active backlogs, but PapersAdda says each drive's job description sets the binding criteria, so check yours.
